100% plastic is less hot than composite, fiberglass, concrete, or stone (pavers). Heat is comparable to wood and is determined by color. The darker it is, the hotter it gets (a dark color reflects less of the sun’s rays, so it absorbs more heat).

For a patio located in full sun, we recommend the colors River Sand and Seafoam Grey.

The official warranty is 25 years against cracking, rot, and excessive fading. But honestly, the real answer goes beyond that.

Dekavie products have been installed in Quebec for over 30 years. Over three decades of installations in one of the most demanding climates in the world (freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, de-icing salt), we have received fewer than 10 warranty claims.

That is not a marketing figure. It is simply what happens when a material is truly suited to its environment.

Dekavie 100% HDPE plastic boards are among the easiest to maintain on the market, and yearly upkeep is very simple.

For regular cleaning, a pressure washer is more than enough. Use a maximum pressure of 1,500 PSI with a fan spray tip. Avoid rotary nozzles, as they can mark the surface.

For stubborn stains such as BBQ grease or embedded tree sap, there is no need for harsh chemicals. Hot water, a bit of Dawn dish soap, and a nylon-bristle brush are enough to clean the surface without damaging it.

That’s it. No treatment, no sealant. Year after year.

Dekavie is backed by Avenord, a Quebec-based distributor of alternative materials located in Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton, between Sherbrooke and Montreal.
